Herts/Middlesex 2 is a tier 10 English Rugby Union league. It is organised by the London and South East Division Rugby Football Union and is the second division competition for clubs in Hertfordshire and parts of north-west London that traditionally was encompassed by the historic county of Middlesex. Each year some of the clubs in this division also take part in the RFU Junior Vase - a level 9-12 national competition.

Promoted teams move up to Herts/Middlesex 1 and there is currently no relegation (prior to 2013-14 teams had dropped into Herts/Middlesex 3). Over the course of its history, Herts/Middlesex 2 has veered between regional and single division formats.

Participating Clubs 2021-22

The teams competing in 2021-22 achieved their places in the league based on performances in 2019–20, the 'previous season' column in the table below refers to that season not 2020–21.

Pinner & Grammarians finished 11th in 2019-20 and whilst not relegated, did not return for 2021-22 and instead have dropped to Herts Merit 4SW.

Promotion play-offs

Between 2004 and 2008 there was a play-off between the runners-up of Herts/Middlesex 2 North and Herts/Middlesex 2 South for the third and final promotion place to Herts/Middlesex 1. The team with the superior league record has home advantage in the tie.

The playoffs were ended before the 2008–09 season when the two regional divisions re-merged into a single division called Herts/Middlesex 2. At the end of the 2007–08 season the Herts/Middlesex 2 North teams had been the most successful with three wins to the Herts/Middlesex 2 South teams one; and the home team has won promotion on all four occasions.
